A young mum weeks from giving birth has had her world turned upside down after her home was stolen.

Rebecca Clark from Barrington, Cambridgeshire, has been collecting baby clothes, nappies and toys in preparation for the arrival of her second child on December 17.

But the caravan she and her young family have been living in for the last year "vanished into thin air" on Wednesday (October 4) - along with sentimental scan images, hospital documents and everything she stored up for the baby.

The caravan was allegedly stolen in the early hours of Wednesday morning from Rebecca's mum's driveway in Primes Close, Barrington.

Rebecca, 19, who is 30 weeks pregnant, said: "I got a call from my mum this morning [Wednesday] saying the trailer had disappeared.

Some of the items young mum Rebecca Clark had collected in preparation for the arrival of her son in December.

"It's vanished into thin air - they left behind the trailer step but they've taken everything else.

"We think the people who stole it must have been watching us for a few days."

Rebecca, her fiance, and four-year-old daughter were in the process of moving into a temporary flat in Waterbeach when their home was stolen.

"I had moved most of my clothes and my fiance's clothes across to the new flat, but everything I'd been storing up for the new baby was in there, including scan pictures and hospital notes - really sentimental stuff.

The trailer was allegedly stolen during the early hours od Wednesday morning (October 4).

"The only things I have left for the baby are a jumper, a pair of shoes and a little pair of jeans."

Rebecca is expecting a little boy on December 17, and all the items she collected to prepare for her son's arrival are now gone.

"The trailer is our home and I settled into it really well. It has just made me feel heartbroken that somebody can take someone else's home.

"People may look at it and say it's only a caravan but it was ours, and we were going to travel out in it during the summer holidays with our children. It was going to be our baby's home.

"I have had to explain to my four-year-old daughter, which has been horrible.

"She's taken it quite well, and we're using it as a way to teach her that taking other people's things is not OK."

Rebecca Clark is 30 weeks pregnant and expecting her son in December.

Rebecca will be marrying into the travelling community after getting engaged to her partner, 22-year-old Terry Lamb, last summer.

"My partner is a traveller and we had been moving around Haddenham, Willingham and Royston for a year.

"The travelling community has been absolutely amazing. They've said they will replace all of the things we've lost and told us not to worry.

"They have all been lovely. Travellers are no different to anyone else. I've had the exact same support from the travelling community, if not more.

"They are all lovely people and like you and me, except they live differently.
